Specifically: mutt hangs when trying to lock the mailbox, and GNOME panel hangs (in fifoow) when trying to save its configuration file. The NFS servers are Solaris 2.6 and 2.8 boxen. I understand that this PR is very vague, but if anyone can suggest more specific tests, I'll be glad to experiment and report more precise results. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
